Ooh..the love bites:
Well, hickies are signs of some love; i call them love-bites. These are minor skin bruising and generally resolve in just a few days. Love-bites don't cause skin cancer and so enjoy them while you can. The world we live in now could use a bit more love.
Have fun, be safe, and good luck.

No treatment require:
Varicose veins are generally a cosmetic issue. If they become symptomatically painful and inflammed they can be treated. But most people just have large swollen veins.

Several things:
Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person. He/she needs to listen to you, perform an examination and possibly run labs or other tests. That's the only way he/she can find out what's going on and what to do about it.

Eagles Syndrome:
Elongation or inflammation related to the styloid process or stylohyoid ligament can result in chronic pain at the base of the skull/back of the throat. Management starts with anti-inflammatory medications and may in some cases progress to surgery where indicated. I do not know of any life threatening problems.

Seldom responsible:
Most of the congenital deformities occur randomly. Some of them, e.g., fetal alcohol syndrome, neural tube defects associated with Folic Acid deficiency, can be caused by action or inaction of pregnant women. Women pregnant or planning to get pregnant should avoid alcohol abuse, maintain adequate nutrition, and receive prenatal cares as recommended by her obstetrician.

Psychotherapy:
Family therapy would be great to help examine the entire family system, but often, some family members are not willing to go. Individual therapy could be very helpful too. Sometimes, it's important to learn to accept what we cannot change. Repeatedly expecting a family member to do something not in their character is futile. By accepting their limitations, you're in for less disappointment.

Sinus and stomach:
Hello. You pose an interesting question. If there is excessive PND and this is being swallowed a gastritis could occur causing nausea and pain. The lymph nodes in the neck and abdomen are sometimes activated with an infection such as a sinusitis. This is called mesenteric adenitis. Finally gerd can trigger nasal and sinus inflammation thus linking the sinuses and stomach. Hope this helps.

Tiny vessel damage:
If it lasts for a few days and looks like a hickey, you are probably scratching hard enough to damage the tiny capillary blood vessels in the skin, and what you are seeing is a tiny bruise in the area you scratched. Do you have any other easy bleeding symptoms like nose bleeds, heavy periods, gums bleeding with brushing teeth - then may want to check if blood doesn't clot right.

No:
A hickey is a shallow bruising, blood cells leaking from tiny capillary beds that will dissolve over time. It is not a clot. Such clots occur in a moderate or big blood vessel to trigger a stroke.

Is :
Is pain a concern or problem? Lubrication may help. But no problems should occur with conjoining of these two. Was a skin lesion or sore spot seen on the penis? If so, it depends how long that spot stayed there and when it showed up.

Get a medical check:
This bruise could be from any kind of injury or bump. But your enlarged lymph glands concern me even more. So the best course of action is to have your doctor check your lymph nodes as well as your bruised area. A blood count(cbc) may be able to rule out any obvious cause of bleeding(bruises).If the lymph nodes are larger than one centimeter or if they enlarge further, then a biopsy of the node be.

Hickey:
A hickey is a discolored area on the skin that results when small blood vessels break under the skin, causing a type of bruise (purpura). The appearance will normally change in appearance and color over time. Small red dots (petechiae) may also appear. These types of injuries rarely scar, but may stay discolored for a fair amount of time. Cold compresses and Motrin or Tylenol (acetaminophen) can help pain.

Suck:
You can give yourself a hickey like you may get from someone else. The "hickey' is caused by sucking on the skin to a degree that blood comes to the surface. This is what the "hickey" is!

Time/Turtlenecks!:
Great question :) a hickey is a bruise from biting/kissing/sucking. This will continue to change color over time as the blood pigment gets broken down. In the mean time, you can cover it up with clothing (turtle necks) or apply make-up concealer.
